AUDITION INFO!
Gather by the Ghost Light will be producing its first full-length stage play in July! It's a new play called ALL BARK, NO BITE written by Kara Emily Krantz and directed by Jonathan Cook. This will be its Georgia premiere and YOU can be a part of it. Auditions are at 3pm on MAY 26th at Le Chat Noir Theatre.
Performance dates are July 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27.
SYNOPSIS: Charlotte and Eugene live a quiet, no-nonsense lifestyle surrounded by sudoku and argyle. Robert and Bella are boisterous and messy and ridiculously in love. Then there's the neighbor, Suzanne, who basically doesn't know what's going on, but definitely has something to say about it. Sure, relationships can be exciting! They can also be confusing, unexpected, and expose us to profound emotional risk. However, relationships are almost always worth exploring, and if we’re willing to be vulnerable, can fill up the empty or wounded spaces in our hearts. And if that doesn’t work? Well, get a dog.
